Learn more about SWEET OLD WORLD, a ten piece sculptural installation in SEQUENCE, by artists Chris Combs & Ceci Cole McInturff.

Artist Statement:

Our world involves the timeless and intuitive as well the industrial and process-driven. It is of natural intelligence and artificial intelligence.This collaborative installation integrates organic with industrial/technological to examine planetary and cultural degradation, technology’s influence on habits and information in society, and hopeful signs of unity and random beauty.

The theory of the multiverse, or the existence of “parallel universes," is yet unproven. But culturally, amid social media, engagement algorithms, and extreme polarization, there are signs that individuals increasingly inhabit divergent mental worlds. In this context then, Sweet Old World may “read” as a sculptural book - evoking history, memory, ongoing change, and the future.
